    Finally got my knife badge! With tips!!!

    Yup, finally got that stupid knife badge....next i need explosive ordinance (to complete my basics)

    So, i was playing a Karkand Server, i've had the most luck gettig knife kills there. But, i've gotten 3-6 knife kills IRA at Wake (snipers in like every bush) and Sharqi (Sharqi is really good for ambushes) Preferably a 32 Player or less server, (more time to set up attacks/ambushes)

    Anyways, the tactics? Camping Spawns, Stalking, Knife Diving, Knife vs. Gun

    I tried them all, and actually, while you can get good kills with just spawn camping, the enemy catches on quick, and your an easy target for ambush. So, i quickly dropped that tactic, partly cuz it was a 16 player server and no one was spawning :p.

    Stalking? Personally its my favorite, nothing more gratifying to me than following a guy forever just to have him stop and let you knife him in the back. However, don't use this tactic while playing AT/Support/Assualt (you can't run as long as the other classes)

    Knife Diving? Probably the 1st tactic for knife users in a battlefield, nothing can pysche an enemy out more than seeing someone charge them (from and angle, not head on) and diving right on to them with a kill. Especially useful for PKM users cuz they are always prone and usually only focusing on a limited part of the battlefield.

    Knife vs. Gun? Not the easiest kill, probably the most heart pounding kill though. If your that desperate to just straight duel someone, make sure you always strafe alot and use run (also not good for the heavier classes, even if they can take an extra hit or two) Make sure you don't use this against someone with a good shotgun (by good i mean they don't have to pump after each shot, so be wary of AT w/ unlock, Engineer w/ unlock, or MEC engineers)

    Usually you'll end the round with a somewhat unsatisfying K|D ratio, but, hey... you just made it past the most difficult stage in making 1st Sergeant

    My hypernia sig doesn't show it yet, but i got my badge...i even got veteran pistol in the same round :p

        If you have SF, play on Surge as rebels, then go as engineer. Basically lay your mines along the narrow stretch leading from main russian base into the middle.

        Don't plant them all in one big clump rather spread them out a bit in a line along the road in dark areas or clumps of grass.

        Have usually got tons of kills doing this and repeating it. I wouldnt call it stats padding because if people are too dumb to keep going down a known minefield without slowing down then they deserve to die, plus once they know about it being there then they tend to slow down to find them meaning that your performing another service to the rest of your team.

        Good hunting :)

          Well lets all gloat about are expert this and veteran that....

          if you gonna just try and show you have a bigger e-(you know what)
          then do it in the off-topic section and make thread about it.

          otherwise simply share in the joy, or add you tips or strategies on how to get good knife kills.

          btw, churnedfortaste how the hell did you get 400+ points IRA? Play a 64 server map with just enough people for the game to start?

            I finally got my knife badge by using absolutely no strategy...I just ran around Sharqi with a knife. It took me 3 rounds and the 3rd round i got lucky. There were 3 guys at the stairs leading up from the hotel to the construction site and i went around them. I knifed 2 and ran away before the 3rd guy turned around and noticed me. I ran behind the building and there was an enemy sniper standing right there trying to pick of my guys, not paying attention. Knifed him. Ran around a bit longer and since we had all of the flags i ran into one of the MEC static bases. There were 2 guys standing there, they saw me but i quickly knifed 2 of them. Of course, i got kills between these for the badge but if it weren't for these 2 lucky instances of rapid-succession knife kills, i wouldn't have the badge.

            Funny that I have been trying to get it for months and the one time when I'm not using any strategy at all, i get it.

            EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to add that now i have 64 knife kills so if i go to another map and get 7 knife kills , i get my Vet. knife badge.

            Knifing completely alert people worked fine for me :p

              I got mine on Karkand as MEC hanging around the Hotel area and where all the US forces come from to take the hotel. Especially in the beginning of the game that is a very hot spot for battle which means that there will be a UAV flying around that area almost constantly. I just looked for guys that were distracted with the fight on the UAV and took them out. When I got the badge I had an even K/D ratio, 7:7.

              I basically did the same thing for the pistol badge, but it's even easier. You can hit people from long range and you only need 5 kills.

              That's my suggestion. Karkand, as MEC, near Hotel and the south edge of the city where the US troops come from.

              Oh be a Medic too. Long sprint distance (Very important) and can heal yourself.

                  I got my Expert (gold) knife badge on karkand after being only 1 kill off on 3 seperate occasions playing on night maps in special forces.

                  Make sure to chose the medic class, use the less traveled routes near the start to get behind your enemy and just go nuts.

                  Use the fact that most people panic when close to a knifer to your advantage, dodge around a bit up close, jump if you need to, go prone, move around lots and even supprise people from on roof areas or from in nooks and crannys where they least expect it.

                  Truthfuly people just run straight forward in karkand, esecially the americans, theres a lot of places to hide in which they will run straight past you.

                    all i gotta say! :)

                    sniper class....mec...spawn hotel....this only works if there is a squad or two dumb US peeps who always charge down the middle...die...revive...die revive...omg it sickening...hogs to the slaughter....

                    just plant your claymores in the center and if you can make if past the grenade barage hide accross the street from the mec side tin section next to the US tin section....knife out and ready

                    the US guys run past in front of you so wait...no one ever looks and if they do they wont the next round...your claymore will take out one or two and slow them down...they will frenzy and all wait next to the wall waiting to go in...now once 3,4,5,6 guys pass charge out and knife em....

                    my best round i had 8 knifes in about 10 seconds!! it was the best craziest moment of my BF2 career....i killed 5 the medic reived 2 more and then i killed them all....i wish i had recorded it

                    thats one of my secrets! so try it out!

                        Thanks for the tips, guys! I got my basic and veteran knife badge today on Strike at Karkand. Spawned as assault with F2000 unlock and flashbangs... Flashbanged the alleys and the gated square before the alleys by the hotel, then knifed away. Almost thought I wasn't going to get it that round, then got a lucky hit with the flashbang and knifed about five at once! I've spent hours on these knife threads though, and trying out different strategies. Thanks again for the input!

                          Nice info. However a bit late. But regardless i actually did you ideas on my own a week ago. Nice to see some people are using their head when chasing the medals and stuff. Congrats!
